We are Crown Point Design (CPD is what our friends call us). We are a San Diego web design, website development, corporate branding and consulting firm. Our team of web designers, developers and content writers helps take our clients' visions and turn them into reality on the web. Check out our work at https://crownpointdesigns.com/our-work.Thanks from all of us here at CPD!

I am very pleased with the support CPD has given our organization. CPD heard our thoughts on the design and created a site we could be proud of. Staff has a real interest in understanding the specific needs of the people we service. CPD gave us the tools to customize our site with options to expand if desired and continues to provide excellent support even after the sale.

Since the website redesign, my weekly inquiries have quadrupled! I am consistently pulling in new customers as a direct result of the work Crown Point Design did for me. The changes weren’t dramatic. Just effective.

I could not be happier with CPD’s service. They exceeded my expectations on price, turn-around and customer service. I recommend CPD to anyone, or any entity, looking to establish an Internet presence.

Let me just begin by saying that I have been in “web design hell” before I met Scott and Topher. (I worked mostly with Topher but Scott was very nice too) I had previously hired a developer who worked with me for 3 weeks on my site – then one day quit and deleted my site with no warning! Reeling from this I quickly found another developer who had the personality of a rock and was not organized or could communicate effectively. I fired him. Next, I was on to a highly reputable firm in downtown San Diego – I will not name the company as they could not help me and did not charge me. Finally, I found Crown Point Designs on Yelp. I dont know why I didnt look on Yelp sooner, but am I glad I did. Not only did they fix/reassemble my website, they did it in 1/5 of the time it took everyone else. My experience was great because Crown Point Design is:

Organized: Gave me a breakdown of the cost and the tasks associated with the project along with the timeline. (I was surprised how quickly they could complete the work)

Thoughtful: Listened to what my needs were and were sensitive to the fact that I had been “burned” by previous firms. They walked me through everything. This made me feel very safe.

Reliable: They were extremely consistent in keeping in touch with me and letting me know the progress of the project.

Helpful: Had plenty of advice for me about my site and how to best optimize it. Even gave me personal tutorials on how to do certain things.

To summarize, I will definitely like to work with Crown Point Designs again and will refer them at every opportunity I have!

Thank you again CPD – you will be hearing from me again soon!

It’s been a bit over a year since I had Scott and Crown Point Design rebuild my site, and I’m happier today than I was back then, and I was very happy then.

My site gets about 900-1000 hits a day, most just looking for information on our site, but we’re getting about 8% of those hits actually contact us for more information. From that, we’re able to convert a large percentage to actual paying and repeat customers. With Scott’s help, we send out a weekly ‘Thank you for contacting our site’ email, and then a monthly newsletter.

We are a small freight broker, and for a number of Google searches, our site actually comes up in the top spot over national carriers!! Awhile back, I complained to Scott about getting all these phone calls from people who thought we were XYZ Carrier, and then he made me realize what a GOOD thing that was, since our site was coming up on top, ahead of them.

Our sales will about double in 2011 over 2010, and since we are a web-based business, much of that success can be attributed to Scott and his design of our site.
